I AM THIRTY cont.

The winners of the best mid-seventies outfit, Amy and her boyfriend (I'm so sorry, I forgot his name!)

My birthday cake. I must say even though I was extremely disapointed in how the night turned out, there is nothing like hearing a choir of 20 people singing just for you. Such talent! The voices carried and filled my heart with love and my eyes with tears. God is good and it feels great to be loved.

I am terribly sorry to expose myself to y'all, but this was the only picture taken of me that night that didn't make me look like I gained 20 pounds instead of losing ten. Chrissy snapped this as I blew my candles out. I just wanted to show you my disco dress. I made the sash myself out of red, sequined material.

So, that is all the photos I have that I wish to share - of a party that won't be going down in history.

In other news, one of the girls at the Roaster quit so I got more hours and now I don't have to find a second job. God is good to me all the time. I just wish I could see that all the time.

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

I really feel like I haven't blogged in months. I know it has only been a few weeks, I think the longest I've been away. From the computer. I WISH I'd been away.

So I'm thirty. 30. THIRTY. I had my party. My "Year I Was Born," party. It just happened to be 119 degrees that night with 90% humidity. So cool. Yeah, it was great. Everyone left. My decorations are still up...Didn't have the heart to take them down. They were just too cool. The food was great, the decorations were perfect, I created the playlist of the century. Unfortunately the guests melted and disappeared within an hour.

Here are some photos:

This is the "den," which is basically an extension of the living room with no wall separation. The management company calls it a den though. We had 96 balloons all over the place, strings of flashing Christmas lights, shiny silver and cobalt blue streamer things hanging from the ceiling and...

...50 ft of this party scene wall hanging stuff. Made it look like there were silhouetted clones of people dancing in the background in my apartment.

Not a very good photo, but at least you get to see some of the lights and streamers. I don't know why, but one of the string of lights weren't on here.

Here is one of the winners of the best 70's outfit winners. You can't see him very well because the point of the picture was to show off the pretty lights, not his costume.

Now blogger is smoking crack again, so I'll have to post the rest of the pictures in another post.
